On Dec. 7, Morning Pointe Senior Living presented its 2022 Community of the Year Award to Morning Pointe of Powell Assisted Living.

The award is based on an overall look at the community’s performance in multiple areas, including customer service, fiscal responsibility, turnover percentage and support of the company’s Morning Pointe Foundation, a nonprofit that provides caregiver support and education, as well as scholarships.

Morning Pointe of Powell achieved this award as the top performing team among the company’s 37 communities in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

This year marks the company’s 25th anniversary, and it has been a big year for the Powell campus as well. Just after The Lantern at Morning Pointe of Powell opened its doors this summer, Morning Pointe of Powell Assisted Living converted its memory care unit into additional assisted living apartments to welcome more seniors into the community.
